Bankrupt games company Atari have failed to find a buyer for the company as a whole so will now auction off individual assets. RCT is among a list of titles that will go under the hammer. Bidding will open with a minimum starting price of $3.5 million.

The intellectual property fire sale that the bankrupt Atari gaming franchises that were sold to pay the company’s creditors included Star Control, Total Annihilation, and Master of Orion — but Roller Coaster Tycoon did not appear within the list of sold properties in the notice Atari’s lawyers filed with the US Bankruptcy Court. Atari clearly felt that the sandbox theme park business sim series was its most valuable franchise: the minimum bid that Atari had set for RCT was $3.5 million, many times higher than it was asking for most of its other IPs.So for the moment, the fate of the RCT property and the Roller Coaster Tycoon mobile game that was in development are up in the air. It’s possible that Atari will now have another sale with RCT and its other unsold properties shifting at a knockdown price.
